Mikha's POV




"Aren't you going to your company? Ang dami mong time ha!" Aiah said, we're entering her firm. Hinatid ko siya on her way here and I plan to stay for an hour pa so I could spend more time with her.




"I know my priorities." I answered without looking at her.




We entered her office. Hindi ko pa rin binibitawan ang mga kamay niya at ayaw kong bitawan niya ang mga mamay ko. I want us to be like this. It keeps me sane.




I saw familiar faces inside. It was Atty. Claver and the Jeremy guy. They approached us and smiled widely. And just by looking at Jeremy and the way he look at Aiah, sigurado akong may gusto siya dito. Dagdag pa sa iisipin ko itong si Atty. Claver who's just observing us.




"Hi, Aiah." Jeremy greeted and kissed Aiah's cheek.  Hindi ko namamalayang napahigpit pa lalo ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay niya.




Napatingin naman sakin si Aiah dahil sa ginawa ko but she gave me a reassuring smile.




"Hello." Bati naman ni Jeremy sakin. I swear to God, mukha siyang balut.




"Uhm. Jeremy this is Mikha. Mikhs, si Jeremy, we will be handling a case in Davao." sabi ni Aiah.




"Ah. The 'very important person' she's referring to a few days back. Nice to meet you.'" Napakunot naman ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya at si Aiah naman ay medyo napayuko at namumula.




"Nice to meet you, too." I smiled pero tumingin ako kay Aiah na para bang nagtatanong pero iniwas niya ang tingin sa akin.




"Mikhs. Just wait for me nalang there ha." Sabi niya at humalik muna sa pisngi ko bago niya bitiwan ang aking kamay.




"Sure." I answered and watched her walk papunta sa table where they will be having a meeting.




They were peacefully discussing the case when I observed Jeremy being so close to Aiah.
